Listen to your own question, pbesthall, and you may hear your answer! The “conservatory lifestyle” is pretty much live&breathe music. Eastman is set apart from the River Campus, and you live in the dorm where the dining hall is. A block away are your classrooms/studios/performance venues. There is some spare time, but Rochester has terrible public transportation so you are reliant upon the U of R-owned bus to get places.
I won’t put in my 2 cents about the schools themselves, but it seems to me that if you truly have no interest in a career in performance and you are really doubting that you would be comfortable in an all music-all the time environment, then perhaps you should rule Eastman out of the equation?
